Trivia
In a break from tradition, one of the ending themes of the game is not an in-house production, but Starsailor's "Way To Fall". Director Hideo Kojima later revealed in his blog that he originally wanted to use "Space Oddity" and "Ashes to Ashes" by musician David Bowie for the ending themes because of the space development theme of the game that was in the game's early development. One of his colleagues then advised him to listen to Stellastarr*, though Kojima instead listened to Starsailor. He liked the song "Way To Fall" and chose it as an ending theme.1
3DS Remake
At the Electronic Entertainment Expo in 2010, Konami displayed a technical demo for the Nintendo 3DS entitled Metal Gear Solid 3D: Snake Eater – The Naked Sample. The demo's subtitle "The Naked Sample" was meant to convey its purpose as just a sample of the 3DS hardware, with no plans to bring a game to production at that point. However, Konami later announced a full Metal Gear title for release on 3DS, which was revealed at Nintendo World 2011 to be Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D.
HD Collection
The Subsistence versions of Snake Eater were reissued for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles in late 2011 as part of Metal Gear Solid HD Collection, an HD compilation including Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker.
